India's defence sector is undergoing a pivotal transformation with the Ministry of Defence launching a detailed review of tri-service procurement priorities.
-
This initiative, driven by an urgent need to address capability gaps across the Army, Navy, and Air Force, reflects a strategic shift from piecemeal solutions to a more holistic, problem-solving approach. The Indian Air Force, operating with just 31 squadrons against a sanctioned strength of 42, epitomises the urgency. Its fighter fleet faces acute shortages, exacerbated by delays in delivering indigenous platforms like the Tejas MKIA and the stalled Multi-Role Fighter Aircraft (MRFA) programme. These delays hinder operational readiness and compromise India's ability to counter emerging threats. Similarly, the Navy's critical needs - submarines, helicopters, and an additional aircraft carrier - remain unmet, while the Army grapples with the need to modernise tanks, drones, and munitions.
